mischief posted:How many tracks are stock cars and bikes sharing? I'm not being a smart rear end, I legitimately don't know. Off the top of my head: -Road America (which has a chicane before the kink for bikes) -Indy (which goes the opposite direction of the Indy/Xfinity track and also has a separate bike loop) -Daytona (only for the Daytona 200, which used to be a bfd but is now basically a club race since the big bikes outgrew it and began shredding tires on the banking) -Mosport (Not sure if the Pinty's guys still race there, but that track is horribly dangerous for bikes)

I imagine motorsports can hang on a bit longer with closed races, given there's less direct contact, but idk

ICYMI: WEC cancelled Sebring (travel ban) Supercross cancelled Seattle this weekend (Watch More Supercross) NBA suspending all games indefinitely NHL making a decision tomorrow (gonna be shocking if they don't suspend) President Trump and Vice President Pence are in charge of getting this all under control I don't see how NASCAR (or Indycar) can easily escape from this, unless they plead and practice ignorance.

Well at least now they won't have to strategically point the cameras to not show the empty seats, right? https://twitter.com/NASCAR/status/1238156124727238657

yeah it would be cool if they use sellout zoom, the cars just look faster when the cameras aren't zoomed all the way in all the time.

It’s morning on this side of the world and McLaren pulled out of the F1 because a team member — one so far — tested positive. There will be further fallout soon I’m sure. I wanted to be positive and think behind closed-doors races would be okay, but I’m wavering on that as well. Might be best to join other events in suspending things for a couple weeks.

This could be a golden opportunity for NASCAR to draw casual fans back because there sure as hell won't be much else on in the sports world this weekend.
